Regulation 2(2) amends regulation 28 of the 2008 Regulations to reflect this. Regulation 2(3) inserts the new form (Form CTO12) into Schedule 1 to the 2008 Regulations.
1983 c.20. Section 64H was inserted by s.35 (1) of the Mental Health Act 2007 (c.12). The 1983 Act is also amended by the Health and Social Care Act 2012(c.7) .
